Hello! I'm an independent filmmaker and producer. I live in St. Petersburg.
I'm reading the forum using Google Translate. I want to make a film about the lifestyle and leisure activities in Germany in the 1970s.
This is related to found footage. I have a collection of amateur, privately produced 8mm normal and Super 8 films, mostly from Germany. There are some rare and interesting films.
I'll scan the films and edit them into a 15-20 minute film, approximately. Or I'll make one 8-minute film and another 35-minute film.
These will be different scenes from different films, connected by a theme.
I won't be cutting and re-splicing the film. I'll be screening a digital version in 2K.
Would such a film be interesting? Do similar films show digitally at festivals?
What else should I pay attention to in this project?
First, I want to screen all the films on a projector, and then select reels for the scanner.
You can answer in German.
Viele Grüße!
Vitali
